"We've got no homes, no mothers to raise us, no fathers to guide us, but we were thrown into a war and trained to die for a Republic we'd never even seen. We've got nothing but each other and our orders."

As the sun set over the horizon, Aiwha Squad decided to make camp for the night. Leisurely sitting around a fire without helmets and assorted pieces of armor, Evan inquired as to why the four commandos all looked the same. Sergeant RC-1013—introducing himself as "Sarge"—explained that they were clones, and introduced the other members of his squad: Zag, Tyto, and Di'kut. Evan explained his own predicament, including how he'd become an orphan during the battle, and Sarge expressed his sympathies before explaining the nature of their lives in the clone army and the importance of obeying orders in war. The following morning, Aiwha Squad arrives at the refugee camp with Evan and deliver him into the custody of Jedi Knight and General, Traavis. Traavis commended the squad on their efforts and relayed news of GeneralGrievous' death while Sarge took a moment to offer some words of advice to Evan before parting. However, mere moments later, Sarge received the transmission from Supreme ChancellorPalpatine containing an order to carry out Order 66. Obediently, Sarge ordered his men to comply and shot down General Traavis as a traitor to the Republic, right before Evan's eyes. Seeing the child crying and confused, Sarge explained the meaning behind Order 66—that the Jedi were traitors to the Republic who were to be killed—and reiterated his belief in obeying the orders given to him.
